Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained but not rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prepare Ingredients: Open all your cans and lightly drain the black beans and corn to remove excess liquid. Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure smooth mixing later.
  2. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large pot, pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, green chilies, and taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly to create the rich, flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Add Beans, Corn, and Chicken: Fold in the drained black beans, drained corn, and shredded chicken. These add the hearty texture and protein that make the soup satisfying.
  4. Simmer and Meld the Flavors: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. This resting time allows the spices and flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or additional taco seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy your delicious 8-Can Chicken Taco Soup.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavorful meat.
  • Drain but do not rinse beans to retain flavor without making soup watery.
  • Simmer gently to keep chicken tender and prevent overcooking.
  • Adjust taco seasoning or chilies to customize spice levels.
  • Add fresh cilantro at the end for bright herbal aroma and color contrast.
